Mughal Mausoleum with Colonnaded Enclosure — Company School Painting on Paper (10×13 in)

The Story

Company School painting arose in the 18th and 19th centuries, when India's master painters worked for patrons of the British East India Company. Blending the precision of indigenous miniature technique with European perspective and watercolour naturalism, these artists documented monuments, architecture, natural history and everyday life with a clarity that makes the genre as much historical record as fine art. Its subject is Indian architecture, recorded with the documentary precision that defines Company School art.
